"The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then."
Windows and Mac OS/iOS sucks, okay?
USE #LINUX!

Does this mean that an attacker could reroute VPN traffic in a public hotspot?
What do you think about using public hotspots + VPN in this context?
